The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First USA printing translated from the German by Desmond I. Vesey with the chapter-head verses translated by Christopher Isherwood. A novel based on the author's famous 1928 musical play 'A Threepenny Opera' later re-issued as 'Threepenny Novel' which he co-wrote with Kurt Weill itself loosely based on John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera'. The play was filtered through Brecht's experiences among the criminal fringe elements of the Weimar Republic. It was the first of Brecht's plays to appear in English. This edition was not issued in the UK. Bertolt Brecht was born in 1898 in Augsburg Germany and was 16 when the First World War broke out. Exploiting a loophole which allowed medical students to be deferred from the army he enrolled at Munich University and began to study theatre under the guidance of Arthur Kutscher. His first works of theatre criticism began to appear as early as 1919 and over the following few years he took part in a political cabaret of the Munich comedian Karl Valentin. Valentin became a huge influence for the young writer and he wrote his first full-length play Baal in response to an argument he had with Kutscher during one of his drama seminars. This re-writing of other's work - as well as his own - would become a key theme in his writings. As he claimed "Anyone can be creative.it's rewriting other people that's a challenge." Over the following years of the 1920s Brecht began studying Marxism and Socialism in earnest. By the 1930s he had formed a writing collective which was composed of such names as Elisabeth Hauptmann Margarete Steffin and Ruth Berlau. Together they adapted John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera' into 'The Threepenny Opera' with Brecht's lyrics set to music by Kurt Weill. The resulting opera was a huge hit in Berlin and helped to renew public interest in the musical genre worldwide. Set in Victorian London the plot follows Macheath the leader of a criminal gang who marries Polly Peachum at the displeasure of her father. In revenge he seeks out Macheath's death - but is hindered by the chief of police Tiger Brown. ""You are about to hear an opera for beggars" Brecht famously narrates ahead of the performance "Since this opera was intended to be as splendid as only beggars can imagine and yet cheap enough for beggars to be able to watch it is called the Threepenny Opera." Fearing persecution Brecht fled Nazi Germany in February 1933 and after stints in Denmark and Finland he settled in California to continue his career as a screenwriter. Very scarce with the wrapper.

193818323New York: Hillman-Curl Inc. Very Good in Poor dj. 1938. 1st U.S. edition. Hardcover. book itself is solid and internally clean some soiling and light shelfwear to top and bottom edges; the jacket however has had about as many bad things done to it as you can imagine: it's been laminated which has resulted in considerable yellowing/discoloration trimmed a bit along the top and bottom edges and the flaps are glued to the pastedowns; some of the laminate has also been peeled away which doesn't help matters much. A novelization essentially of Brecht and Kurt Weill's "The Threepenny Opera." Jacket-blurbed as "an unashamed and outrageous epic of roguery triumphant -- a rollicking full-blooded story whole-hearted in its descriptions of rascality and corruption" this translation was first published in England in 1937 by Robert Hale. A not-especially-pretty example of a fairly scarce book. . Hillman-Curl, Inc. hardcover
